First off, the so called "ethical scandal" the author was involved in (he purchased the service of an escort), bears no influence on my rating of this book, nor do I believe that such an affair itself would undermine someone's capability of instructing people on the practice of meditation
Still, I found this book to be too extensive for its own good. Less than 200 pages would have sufficed for the author to adequately present his model of meditation to a layman audience. As is often the case with the genre of self-help and meditation books, one gets the impression Yates bulked up his work with useless esoteric fluff in order to give it an air of thoroughness.

Probably one of the best books on meditation I've read and I have meditated for about a decade and a half now, also have taught it for a number of years in the past. This is one of those books I wish I had when I first started out, but also one that I wish I had as my practice went along. It talks about everything from the very basics and into deeper levels of the practice, and things that you may have to overcome, techniques, tips, etc.

Long, a slog at times, but there's some interesting insights. The first meditation book I've seen that's (somewhat) grounded in science, cognitive and neuro.
